On the other side, the Queen got the news and immediately sent Aunt Mei to pick them up.
Aunt Mei hurriedly hurried and happened to meet the Fourth Prince and Qiao Jiaojiao on the palace road.
She looked over from a distance and saw His Royal Highness squatting in front of Miss Qiao, holding Miss Qiao's hand and saying something unknown.
What makes Grandma Mei feel strange is that Miss Qiao is obviously such a small baby, but she can see the look of hopelessness on Miss Qiao's face.
Aunt Mei:? ? ?
No, she must have seen it wrong...
"Your Highness! Miss Qiao!"
Aunt Mei stepped forward and said with a smile: "The queen has sent servants to welcome His Highness and Miss Qiao. The decree has also been sent to Qiao's residence. I believe that Mrs. Qiao will come to the palace soon."
Before Qiao Jiaojiao could recover from the fright that had leaked out of her, she allowed Aunt Mei to pick her up and walk to Yikun Palace.
The fourth prince looked at Qiao Jiaojiao with some worry. After thinking about it, he felt that the ones Sister Qiao saved should all be good people, so it was nothing serious.
Now that Sister Qiao has this mental preparation, she will definitely not suffer from this in the future.
It's just that he didn't have time to ask Sister Qiao just now, what was the price for her saving people? Don't hurt herself!
On one side, Qiao Jiaojiao and her entourage walked towards Yikun Palace. On the other side, Huang Pei calmly left Xinghua Palace after asking Concubine Jing and the second princess.
Although Huang Pei doesn't show it on his face, he is actually suffering in his heart!
The Holy Emperor strictly ordered him to thoroughly investigate the source of the rumors, and he decided to start with Concubine Jing and the Second Princess.
It turned out that after asking for a long time, Concubine Jing "happened" to hear someone talking nonsense when she was walking around the imperial garden.
But the man was hiding behind the rockery. When Concubine Jing ordered people to catch him, no one was seen.
There was something weird about everything here, but it just confirmed his previous guess.
All of this... I'm afraid it was really caused by His Highness the Crown Prince!
And His Highness the Third Prince on the couch...
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's concern for His Highness the Third Highness does not seem to be false. If this happens, I am afraid that His Highness the Third Highness will also be involved!
And the two Highnesses have worked hard to do all this, and the target is probably-the Second Highness is about to return to the capital!
Oh my god, could it be... Could it be that His Highness the Second Highness's background is really wrong, and His Highness the Crown Prince and the others have already tacitly understood this in private?
But Di Zaiying is dead. What evidence can there be for such a vague thing?
Your Majesty... even he can't see through what His Majesty's intentions are now.
This fight is really dangerous!
This time, His Highness the Third Highness entered the situation personally and put on a whole show. If he hadn't heard Di Zaiying's last words before and made some guesses, even he would have been kept in the dark!
From this point of view, the Holy Emperor should not be able to guess who His Highness is for a while. If His Highness stops here, it will still be too late.
If...if His Highness the Crown Prince has made up his mind, he doesn't dare to say who will win in this battle!
Thinking of this, Huang Pei was confused.
At the last moment, I'm afraid even he will have to make a choice!
Huang Pei sighed countless times in the deserted place, and finally had to give up.
No matter, let’s check first!
Since His Highness the Crown Prince has laid out the plan, he probably has left behind the so-called "person who spreads rumors". He will first find this person and see how His Highness the Crown Prince arranges it!

Royal study room.
After Emperor Yong returned from Xinghua Palace, he entered the imperial study alone.
The servants were waiting outside, and they could only hear the silence in the imperial study room, without any sound.
It was already the time for Emperor Yong to take a nap, but Huang Pei was away on business, and no other father-in-law dared to knock on the door.
There was no window in the Imperial Study Room, and the darkness inside the palace was filled with dullness and silence.
Emperor Yong sat on the dragon chair, his head lowered and his expression unclear.
After a while, he suddenly raised his finger and put it on the armrest mechanism, which controlled the hidden grid on the wall.
But just as he raised his index finger, Emperor Yong stopped moving again.
The next moment, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably. The amplitude was very small, but it could not be ignored.
Emperor Yong suddenly turned his head and looked at this scene in disbelief. He hurriedly pressed his right wrist with his left hand to cover up the trembling.
Emperor Yong knew that he seemed to be ill.
He never told anyone that he sent Zou Qi to Beijing, firstly to treat his second child, and secondly to avoid the daily safe pulse.
He was in the prime of life and was the ninth emperor of the Yong Kingdom. He rarely got wind and cold. How could he get a strange disease?
He was unwilling and unable to accept this fact, but today the third child wandered on the edge of life and death, which touched his heart.
He knew that the third child was convulsing all over when he fell ill. In the past, he had always regarded the third child as a stain on the royal family, so he ignored him.
But now that he had such signs, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he had passed this disease on to his third child?
There were rumors in the palace that the third child was not his son, so naturally he didn't believe it at all.
The third child is his son, not only because his facial features are similar to his, but also because his mother-in-law is stupid.
Among the concubines in the harem, the empress is smart, Lin Zhaoyi is gentle and calculating, and the rest are more or less thoughtful.
Only Concubine Jing is a solid person. She does not have the courage or ability to confuse the royal bloodline.
Moreover, when Concubine Jing was diagnosed with twins in her womb, he sent someone to check it out. Concubine Jing's maternal grandmother was also a twin, so there were traces of everything.
If...if Lao San's illness really comes from him, will one day he will be like Lao San, twitching when he gets excited, and losing face in front of the courtiers and the people of the world?
What about the prince?
As the crown prince of a country, does the prince also have such a hidden danger buried in him?
At this point in his thoughts, Emperor Yong couldn't help but breathe slightly quickly.
The great Yongjiang Mountains and the inheritance of the ancestors, what he has in mind is the eternity of the ages...
Emperor Yong was at a loss, and when he let go, he just touched the mechanism on the armrest.
The hidden compartment on the wall slowly opened, revealing the stunning face in the portrait.
Before Emperor Yong turned away, he was still worried in his heart, but when his eyes touched the portrait, all the distracting thoughts disappeared in an instant.
Emperor Yong stood up slowly, walked up to the portrait, raised his hand and touched the stunning eyebrows.
"Yu Liu, I haven't come to see you for a long time. After my second son left Beijing, I..."
Emperor Yong frowned slightly, with a hint of shame in his expression.
"When my second son is with me, I can think of you mother and son all the time. I can't wait to give him the best things."
"But now, I haven't thought about my second child for a long time..."
"When you were dying, you asked me never to forget you, and I obviously agreed."
"But Yu Liu, you have really been away from me for too long...so long that I discovered the kindness of the queen again, and remembered the affection and time between me and her young couple."
"Yu Liu, I seem to be sick..."
Emperor Yong murmured, and sometimes his brows were frowning, and then his face was soothing, with a hint of cracks, and a hint of weirdness...
